Hi all, If i want to use virtual PC as a means to setting up a virtual lab what do i need? As i understand it i not only need the virtual PC software but also a separate copy of each OS i want to install. Is this true? I had heard mention of using evaluation software to get around this? Also...

I'll look into that .... thanks By the way, there is a typo in my message, usleep works at a granularity of microseconds not milli....anyway doesn't change the original problem i've outlined....

Hi all, wonder an you help. I run active state perl 5.8 on my windows machine. I need to control the increment rate of a while loop and after trying with Time::HiRes usleep and Win32::Sleep i've found something that puzzled me and led me to do some benchmark testing. This then showed a problem...

Thanks ishnid, I'm not really sure how to do that, i've played a bit but keep getting funny errors? To tell the truth i'm not too hot on pointers and objects etc. Could you give me an idea? Cheers

Trojan, Man, i cant thank you enough, it works!! I'll research myself why your change works. Its a little bit slow to pick up the change but again i'll look into this. Thanks again for all your help over the last week.......

Hi folks, Thanks for all your help and pointers, however i'm stuck again!! Can someone please please look at the small script i've written and point out why it wont work?! Basically i create a thread which prints hashes at $period seconds interval. $period is a shared variable. I expect the...

Trojan, Thanks so much for that, my head was starting to spin a bit so its nice to have something specific to look into...

One other note, i thought about having the widget process writing its value to a text file. The hash process could then be written to periodically read this and act upon any change. However this seems to be a bit kludgy? What do you think

Hi, I was recently guided towards perl/tk for GUI creation but have realised this was only address 1 of my requirements. I know i'll have to use separate processes but i cant seem to get a good picture as to how i can communicate between them, ideally i'd like a parent process to make a change...

Thanks everyone, i think i'll look into tk for starters as there seems to be quite a lot of info/books about
